Cost of Living Bonuses Reduced by Supervisors
The Board of Supervisors in White Plains cut cost of living bonuses for county workers by 9.43 percent for July to December, a $80,000 saving from an $1.8 million budget. Officials and six top county executives faced the same reduction. The move follows an 18 month system, with the county’s bonus program dating back to 1943. Protests from the Civil Service Association and CIO union labeled the cut ill-timed and urged maintaining regular pay. Other agenda items included referrals on Camp Smith and a county golf course, and a county attorney to review a gas driver strike as an emergency.
